Takara-Tomy’s Hisashi Yuki has teased the next entry into the Unite Warriors line for Japan. Those waiting on Bruticus shall have to wait a bit longer, as this silhouette implies the next Unite Warriors release will be Galvatronus / Cyclonus, as identified by his head, wingtips on the sides of his legs, and the presence of the Superion gun.
The image is accompanied by the text “Overseas! Domestic release in Japan! We’ll do our best!”
Further examination of the image lets us make out that the molds of Rook and Offroad are on the legs of Galvatronus. It looks like the left arm is Skydive or Air Raid‘s mold, and the right one is harder to make out – but the probability it it is another Aerialbot. By all appearances and that text, it looks like this set will be a Japanese domestic release of some of the new faces added to the Combiner Wars line in the US. Whether they are the same characters as the US, or new characters, is uncertain.

Picture definitely seems gray scale, so we can't likely tell anything from it.

I know. That's what worries me.
Really? When it's fully revealed and ends up a Starscream or something with a unique set of limbs, tell me that again.
I already have CW Cyclonus. This looks like it'll be something different with new limbs.

You know, you can just buy the Hasbro version.

If Defensor and Convoy Grand Prime are, you know this one will be too. As those two would have probably done fine at mass retail. There is less appeal to this combiner regardless if it's Cyclonus / Galvatron or Starscream / King Starscream (or Megatron).

I bet my other combiner that this guy gets the same treatment as Convoy Grand Prime.

PLEASE don't let this one be a TTMall exclusive..
Cal
Brilliant. We went from 'totally black silhouette' to '99% black silhouette'. I guess that leaves room for another 97 teasers…
Kurome
I was thinking cyclonus and 4 sweepes from diferent molds.. until I saw this post. very good idea I think

Dammit! I saw this bumped and expected news…
Dark Starscream
Perhaps the jets will be Darkwing and Dreadwind?
If the other two are Rook and Off-road.
kaijuguy19
That actually works very well.
Autovolt 127
That would be epic.

Maybe they're the Vehicons from Transformers Prime: The Game.
There's a helicopter, a truck, a jet, and an armored vehicle. Perfect candidates for the Helicopter Vehicon, Truck Vehicon, Jet Vehicon, and Tank Vehicon!
Obvious Prime
I'd be down for this as long as the limbs are new characters. Maybe they could do something similar to what the club is doing for their combiner? Not identical characters or anything like that, but doing the same "bunch of Decepticons from the post-movie era that wouldn't really get modern toys otherwise" thing.
Or, instead of four of the same army builder dudes like some people have already suggested, why not four completely different genericons? A sweep, one of those nameless lilac seeker fellas, a truck that turns into a TFP-style Terrorcon, and a Vehicon out of the Rook mold.
Johntimus Prime
I passed on CW Cyclonus because…well, it should be obvious why, but if he was done in Superlink Megs' palette, I'd consider this set.

What would make this better are Arms Micron figures!
Thundershot
Not Energon, but I'd love to see
Demolishor from Brawl or Rook
Cyclonus from Alpha Bravo
Wheeljack from Dead End
Thrust from Skydive
Smitty.1981
What Energon Decepticons could the limbs be?

As a fan whose collection mostly comprises of A/E/C figures, I really hope this is true.
